I was JUST about to post something that would have been almost exactly like this.  You win.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

So father and son got arrested. Aww.

/only sarcastic in the sense that you just don't see that everyday
I suppose you can still learn stuff on TLC, though it would be more in the Goofus & Gallant sense, that is (don't do what these parents did)"- Travis Eberle, 2012

It's actually some fairly serious business going on there, I'd be a little slower to poke fun.

I know...hence the slashie below that statement. I was aware of Clooney the younger's arrest, wasn't aware of Clooney the elder's presence.

I'm not poking fun, I'm just remarking about how not so often you hear of things like that. At least not when celebrities are involved, of course.

The whole point of the exercise was to draw attention to the cause, so in that sense, getting arrested was probably a good thing, and possibly even the whole idea.  "George Clooney loiters outside a building with his dad" isn't a story.  I doubt getting arrested is going to do anything to George's bankability, and I'm guessing he could afford bail.

Well put.
